The Astrakhan Drama Theater was founded at the beginning of the 19th century. Today, his repertoire includes performances by contemporary playwrights and classics of the genre.

History

On December 12, 1810, Astrakhan saw the first performance. The Drama Theater, the photo of the building of which is presented in this article, opened on this very day. The performance took place in a wooden shed, which the merchant Tokarev adapted for spectacle. The theater was organized by retired lieutenant A. Gruzinov. In the first year, the troupe gave more than 40 performances. Since 1857, only artists invited to tour have performed in the theater. A new stone building for the Astrakhan drama was built in 1887. The author of the building project is the architect Volrad. The theater was built with funds from the honorary citizen of the city N. I. Plotnikov, who was the initiator of its construction.

P. Medvedev became the leader of the troupe. He was in constant search of young talents. In the 90s of the XIX century, touring troupes often came to the city. L. Sobinov, M. Ermolova, F. Chaliapin, V. Komissarzhevskaya, L. Tselikovskaya and others visited Astrakhan.

After the revolution, the repertoire of the theaterchanged radically. The main audience were sailors and soldiers, the performances were appropriate. During the war years, the Astrakhan drama again had to restructure its work and change its repertoire so that it would correspond to the spirit of the times.

In 1986, the Drama Theater (Astrakhan) was awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor. And a year later it was closed for restoration, which lasted 7 years. At this time, the troupe was forced to wander around other people's stages. But this did not prevent the team from delighting their audience with new performances.

After the restoration, the theater began to work in a different direction. The repertoire includes new performances, as they say, for every taste. In addition to the classics, avant-garde, musical and children's productions appeared.

The theater diligently preserves traditions, but at the same time keeps up with the times.
